In 1966, Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay formed Buffalo Springfield in Los Angeles.

In 1967, after a promoter refused to pay The Animals in advance for a concert in Ottawa, the band decided not to play. In response, the audience rioted and caused $5,000 in damages.

In 1978, Van Halen kicked off their first tour at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom. The group’s contract famously specified that M&Ms be provided for the band but that all the brown candies are removed.

In 1995, the Foo Fighters made their live debut during a benefit show in Portland, Oregon.

In 1986, Metallica released their third album, Master of Puppets. It was the band’s last album with bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed when the group's tour bus overturned in southern Sweden while touring to promote the album.

In 1995, R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry underwent successful brain surgery after collapsing during a concert in Switzerland due to a brain aneurysm.

And in 2009, to celebrate the release of U2’s 12th studio album,No Line on the Horizon, and their appearance every night for a week onThe Late Show with David Letterman, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg temporarily renamed part of 53rd Street U2 Way.

Why March 2nd Matters In Rock History

By Dave Basner

March 2, 2020

It’s March 2nd and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:

In 1982, a new storage format for music was launched. It was called the compact disc and in October, Billy Joel would have the first album released on it with 52nd Street.

In 1988, at the 30th annual Grammy Awards, U2 was the big winner, taking home the trophies for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for The Joshua Tree. Bruce Springsteen won the award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo for "Tunnel of Love."

In 1991, Free were at number two on the UK singles chart with "All Right Now," 21 years after the song first came out. It's use in a Wrigley's gum commercial brought about the resurgence. 

And in 2004, Metallica kicked off the first North American leg of their 137-date Madly in Anger with the World Tour at the America West Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

And that’s what happened today in rock history.

There, where the mountains are high I fly freely There, where the water is deep I swim freely I fly freely in the sky My melody is strong There, where the mountains are high I fly freely There, where the water is deep I swim freely I fly in the sky I fly in the sky I fly in the sky My melody My melody The wind freezes, as the sun rises at its zenith And I am me
